antennae about twice the length of first ; coriimi finely 

 pilose. 



Long. 7 mm. 



Hah. Natal: Howick (Cregoe, Brit. Mus.). Transvaal: 

 Pretoria (Distant) ; Johannesburg (Ross). 



The British Museum possesses a long series of this species 

 from Howick, Natal, whence Kirkaldy's type is recorded, 

 and I have also a considerable number of specimens from 

 the Transvaal. They are all moderately uniform in markings 

 and coloration, and the figure given by Kirkaldy appears 

 to be much too highly coloured. 



I found this the most abundant species in the Transvaal, 

 frequenting grasses, and readily obtained by sweeping. 



Division Cylaparia.
